Seventy-five local business and
mining men and their guests were
seated about the banquet board In
the chamber of commerce assembly
room Saturday evening to discuss ths
question of mines and mining. The
affair was primarily called for the
purpose of putting into motion the
work of gathering together an ade
quate exhibit of the minerals of Jo
sephine county. But because of ths
fact that Saturday was the anniver
sary of the birth of the immortal
Abraham Lincoln, the occasion was
turned into a most fitting observance
of the day. an address having to do
with the life of Lincoln, and more
particularly with the teachings of
the character of the man, being de
livered by John H- Haak. a mining
engineer of Portland, who was pres
ent. Mr. Haak made a most impres
sive talk, finding many a golden nug
get as he assayed the character of
Lincoln, and told of the wonderful
influence of Lincoln upon the charac
ter ot the country.
The meeting was called to order
by President Bramwell of the Cham
ber of Commerce, who Introduced O.
S. Blanchard, a member of the state
bureau of mines and geology, who
acted as chairman of the evening.
He first Introduced Mr. Haak. who
first spoke of Lincoln, following
which address Mr. Haak dwelt for
some time upon the mining condi
tions ot the west, particularly as It
affected the production of carom«.
He urged the enactment of a tariff
upon the importation of chrome ore,
as he said the miners of the west
could not compete with the negro la
bor of Africa and with ore brought
in as ballast for ships. To bring
the need for this tariff more partic
ularly to the minds ot the legislators
in congress. Mr. IHaak asked that a

SCHOOL SYSTEM NOT
AFFECTED BÏ CHANGE
Sacramento, Cktl.. Feb. 14.—(A.
P.)—The school system of Califor
nia. governed as it is by special laws,
would not be greatly affected by Gov
ernor W. D. Stephens' plan for reor
ganization of the state government.
When the governor caused his bills
covering the proposed reorganization
to be introduced before the legisla
ture for consideration at the pend
ing session, he included only one
brief act relating to education. This,
he explained by message, was be
cause some ot the officers concerned
are elective and constitutional, and
their duties could neither be abolish
ed nor greatly changed without oon-
fllot with the basic law.
A department of education would
be created and the office of director
of education would be authorized.
The state superintendent of public
Instruction—an
elective officer—
would be director.
There would be two divisions of
the department. That of text books,
certification, and trust funds would
discharge the duties indicated by
its title. The division of normal and
special schools would take charge of
the affairs of the several state nor
mal schools, the polytechnic school,
and the California school for the
deaf and blind. The state board of
education would be vested with the
powers now exercised by the special
boards for all those schools, and
such special boards would be abol
ished.
